At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don't just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset - who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
This position requires a hybrid work schedule with 3 days per week attendance at our Menlo Park office.

Snowflake's platform is the engine that powers and provides access to the AI Data Cloud, creating a platform for Data Engineering, Analytics, AI and Apps and Collaboration.

WHO YOU ARE
We are looking for an experienced

As a champion for the design team, you will review and prioritize requests, manage timelines, allocate resources, oversee agency onboarding and management, and streamline communications across cross-functional teams and external partners.
You are a natural problem solver who thrives on building workflow efficiency and process documentation. You excel at tackling ambitious projects in a fast-paced, collaborative, and deadline-driven environment. You are deeply organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling competing priorities.
This role reports to the Senior Director of Brand Design, which sits within the larger Brand Marketing function which also includes Brand Content, Brand Video, Brand Management, Customer Marketing, and Web Experience.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Workflow Optimization: Evaluate and modify department SLAs for creative delivery; build workback schedules and lead your team in driving projects to the schedule; publish guidelines and "How to Engage" documentation to the broader marketing organization to manage expectations.
  • System Ownership: Own the team's project management system (Wrike), ensuring meticulous data accuracy, robust status tracking, and clear timelines across multiple workstreams.
  • Asset Management: Collaborate with the design team to evaluate file-naming conventions and optimize backend storage for working files (both internal and external agency files).
  • Tools and Systems Management: Own the Design team's core toolstack (including Wrike and Canva); evaluate, procure, and onboard net-new plugins, AI tools, and subscriptions to continuously optimize team capabilities.
  • AI-Native Processes: Using Snowflake agentic AI products (CoCo, CoWork) conceptualize and build improvements and innovations within our toolstack, from intake to delivery and everything in between.
Collaboration and Communication
  • Team Leadership: Plan and lead daily stand-up meetings, ensuring clear documentation, action-item tracking, and accountability.
  • Cross-Functional Liaison: Act as the bridge between creative and internal stakeholder teams to gather missing requirements, align feedback, and secure project inputs.
  • Stakeholder Updates: Provide proactive, timely updates to stakeholders and extended team members to keep all projects tracking smoothly.
  • Performance Metrics: Define, track, and report on quarterly performance metrics to optimize department strategy, planning, and resourcing.
  • Agency Partnership: Cultivate strong, collaborative relationships with external agency partners while managing contracts, budgets, and project timelines to ensure high-quality delivery.
  • AI Adoption & Evangelism: Champion AI tool adoption across the creative operations function, building hands-on proficiency and developing workflows, automations, and templates that drive repeatable efficiency at scale.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
  • 8+ years of marketing or creative operations experience, preferably within the B2B technology sector or a hyper-growth environment.
  • Essential Expertise:
    • Proven project management expertise with a strong track record of managing high-volume project pipelines in parallel using tools like Wrike.
    • Strategic mindset with the ability to develop framework toolkits, guidelines, and processes that enable world-class brand experiences at scale.
    • Comprehensive knowledge of creative production, including solid understanding of production requirements for both print and digital delivery.
    • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders, listen actively, and build consensus.
    • Leadership and resilience, comfortable rolling up your sleeves to dive into the work while leading calmly under tight deadlines and pressure.
